| Description: |
The
idea behind neo-impressionism
is that it encourages the artist
to understand form in terms of
area,
rather than mass.
A constantly
changing
network,
the essential identity
of which
remains unchanged,
is always in a different form
by the essential fact
of the outer surface.
An important part of this work is the arena of contrasting beer and white wine
contrasting strongly with
the impersonal forms and industrial colours to indicate the spiritual dimension and its
endless possibilities.
The
figured
ground
belies
a reflection of the artist's soul.
The viewer is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the piece into
the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work.
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
similitude of dark and light...
The artist does not use
traditional proportions
to contain the
colours, which can by this means
stand alone.
A temporally
evolving
network,
the essential identity
of which
remains unchanged,
is sometimes in a different form
by the perception
of the viewer.
The beribboned background indicates the eternal dimension and its limitless possibilities. Unexpectedly, we see the diagonal axis representing the self undulate towards the centre of the image, suggesting unreliability. In this work Sol Aris delineates the relationship between bare feet and salt. A constantly evolving glammerdümmering, the outstanding aesthetic sensibility of which is always constant, is sometimes transformed by the perception of the onlooker. The viewer is drawn by the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility of the work into the world of single-axis asymmetric soft, closed signs with inner and outer crossings. The viewer is drawn by the scale and openness of the work into the world of epistemology of space and place. In this carving Sol Aris shows the relationship between dark and light. Of a sudden, we see the diagonal axis representing the self undulate towards the centre of the sketch, suggesting inconstancy. A perpetually changing glammerdümmering, the scale and openness of which is always the same, is sometimes in a different form by the understanding of the viewer. The world of summer and winter of Sol Aris's previous works are still present, but transformed. In Shaker æsthetics, the visual phenomena of the physical world are, in themselves, empty: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such. ``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.'' [Johannes Itten, The Art of Color] |
